Langonbeak the Owl King
Trussed up in his armor the owl king led his army to victories
In battles up and down the Barbary Coast, and then some.
His reputation preceded him, as ruthless as he appeared to be.
In actuality, he was a kind and noble owl, who gave mercy.
Often, but with strings attached, so others would fear him.
Being feared went wing in wing with being powerful, which he adored.
Lady owls lined up to get a glimpse of this heroic king
Who paraded in their dreams even before they met him.
His deeds were sung by the bards around campfires,
In the dead of night, as the owl maidens sat in their treetops
Listening with their companion owls, who were as intrigued
As they were jealous of Langonbeak, the notorious owl king.
